How far is it from the top of the flag pole to the tip of the shadow if the flag pole that is 18 feet tall casts a 24 foot shadow?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 30 feet
When the angle of elevation to the sun is 26 degrees a flagpole casts a shadow that is 82 feet long. How tall is the flag pole?
It is nearly 40 feet
How tall is a tree that casts a 30 ft shadow at the same time an 18 ft pole casts a shadow that is 6 feet long?
It is 90 feet in height
How tall is a flagpole that casts a shadow 35 feet long when a man 6 feet tall casts a shadow 8 feet long?
The flagpole is 26 feet, 3 inches tall. (210/8 feet = 26.25 feet)Since the ratio of height to shadow is 6/8, the flagpole is also 3/4 as tall as its shadow.6/8 (man) = x/35 (pole)6/8 (35) = x210/8 = xx = 26.25 feet
A man is standing near a totem pole the man is 74 inches tall and his shadow is 4 ft long The shadow of the totem pole is 6 ft long how tall is it?
The sunlight's vertical angle to the man (standing straight) and to the totem pole is the same. Therefore the length of their shadows (one side of a right triangle) to their heights (the other side) will have the same ratio.Man is 74 inches tall, shadow is 4 feet.Totem Pole is X inches tall, shadow is 6 feet (1.5 times as long)74 inches x 1.5 = 111 inches, the height of the totem pole (9' 3" tall).
